Sylt: Deutschlands nördlichste Insel zwischen Weltbad und Watt
Sylt is a promise made of thatch, the Red Cliff and rolling surf. The island's west side is one forty-kilometre sandy beach running from Hörnum to List; the east side belongs to the quiet Wadden Sea – and in between lie Frisian villages with thatched captains' houses, the dunes of the Ellenbogen peninsula and bustling Westerland as the urban heart.
The range of places to stay runs from the legendary Söl'ring Hof in the Rantum dunes, one of the country's finest addresses, via long-established Westerland houses such as the Hotel Miramar, to personally run guesthouses: in Wenningstedt, Haus Luuward lets rooms near the cliff, while in Rantum holiday flats like the Raanhus offer Frisian character with both coasts a short walk away.
Between beach days there are the Hörnum lighthouse, oysters from List, the whisky distillery in Rantum and the heathland of the Braderup Heath. On GastNest every enquiry goes straight to the host – commission-free, and often with the crucial tip on which groyne stays sheltered in a westerly wind.
